I didn't expect to get as pissed off as I did halfway through this morning's podcast but there's a ridiculous amount of frustration about Palace's current situation that I needed to vocalise.
Hopefully it chimes with a few of you. π«‘

Back again! This is the third time I've seen this bat now. It's pretty amazing it's still going strong. Another toe repair and a service, and we'll see if it holds on for another year!

Wow! A lot of work went into this one. There was significant toe damage and general wear and tear, but Iβm really pleased with the outcome. It lives to fight another day!

A toe repair for this one. I wanted to show the interim steps, rather than just the beginning and the end. I did a quick clean up, too.

A quick turnaround for this one, there was nothing to repair, just a quick clean up.

NEW SEASON READY BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!
There's nothing like being organised. This bat is good to go for next summer before winter has even started!
If your bat needs a spruce up, give me a shout.

BACK IN BUSINESS
Apologies, it's been a bit quiet for a while, we moved house this summer and have only recently got settled! Unfortunately, bat repairs have taken a bit of a back seat as a result.
It was great to get back to it this week, though, with this small repair and spruce up.

A lovely Cobra bat in for a quick clean-up. There's nothing wrong with this one. They are great bats. Cleaned up and ready to go.

Having recently moved house. I haven't had a chance to post too many updates.
This one was actually a half decent bat under the layers of gunk! It looks a million times better now.

There was a piece missing from this one, so I needed to borrow from another bat to get it fixed.
It looks a lot fresher now. Hopefully, there will be a few more runs in there!

A small toe repair, toe guard fitted, and a freshen up for this one.

A quick freshen up for this one. This is another bat that has been passed down through a family to somebody just starting their cricketing journey.
I remember how excited I was every time I played cricket when I started out, I still get that excitement now to be honest!
I am glad this young player's bat will look the part. Hopefully, it'll be the start of a long love affair, with our beautiful, beautiful sport!!
